oculus rift

A recent patch for the Oculus Store has killed the Revive compatibility project for the HTC Vive. While the games themselves still run, the Oculus Store itself now contains DRM checks that check to ensure an Oculus Rift is connected to the system.

The Oculus Rift has finally hit reviewers’ hands and there’s an interesting split between the tech press and more mainstream publications. The overall trend is positive, but the Rift’s price and relatively limited launch content could slow mainstream adoption.

The Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR are all scheduled for retail releases before Q3 2016, so let’s take this opportunity to look at what each model has to offer, how much money it’ll cost, and whether or not it’s even worth bothering with just yet.
